Prompt Leak Detection and Repair

Hidden water leaks in your pipes can remain undetected for weeks, months, or even years—often only becoming noticeable after significant damage has occurred.


Being aware of the early signs of a leak can help you catch the problem before it escalates and causes costly damage to your home.


Common indicators of leaking pipes include:


  • A sudden increase in your water bill


  • Sagging or warped floors


  • Discolored ceilings


  • Bubbling paint or wallpaper


  • The sound of running water when no faucets are in use


  • Your water meter continues to run even with no water being used


  • Musty smells or mold in specific areas of the house

Why It's Crucial to Fix Leaks ASAP

Don’t underestimate the impact of a small leak—it can cause serious damage. A leaking pipe isn’t the same as a dripping faucet. Hidden leaks can result in significant harm to both your home and your finances.


Here’s why prompt action is so important:


  • Burst pipes can cause extensive flooding throughout your home.


  • Mold and mildew growth can create health risks for your family.


  • Sewer line leaks can undermine your home’s foundation.


  • Wastewater pooling in your yard can lead to unsanitary conditions.


  • Wasted water adds up quickly, leading to inflated water bills.

If you suspect there may be a leak behind your walls or under your property, don’t wait. Contact our leak detection experts today to prevent further damage.

What to Expect During Leak Detection

To fix a damaged pipe, we first need to pinpoint the exact location of the leak. This is done using specialized leak detection equipment and various advanced technologies.


Here are the methods we use for effective leak detection:


  • Infrared Cameras: These cameras help us detect water movement and measure temperature variations. While infrared technology can’t pinpoint the exact leak location, it works well in combination with other tools like acoustic leak detectors.

  • Acoustic Leak Detectors: By using sound, we can more accurately locate leaks. These sensors listen for noises within the pipes, and the leak is identified where the sound is the loudest.

  • Gas Tracers: When acoustic methods aren’t sufficient—such as in deep or extensive pipes, or in areas with high background noise like industrial sites—we use gas tracers. A mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen is injected into the pipe, and a special sensor tracks the escaping gas to identify the leak. This gas is non-toxic and safe for your potable water system.

Our team is committed to your safety, using only non-invasive leak detection methods. Once we’ve located the leak, we’ll discuss the best options for repairing or replacing the pipe.
